SNACKS
WEDNESDAY - Pineapple
THURSDAY - Bananas
The fresh form of pineapple actually has the lowest amount of sugar, at roughly 14 grams of sugar per cup. This amount of sugar equates to approximately 75 calories. Fresh pineapple also has the fewest additives and other substances you may want to avoid.

Canned pineapple has far more sugar than the fresh variety, as it is commonly stored in sugary and enriched syrup to increase sweetness. A single cup of canned pineapple has approximately 34 grams of sugar.

Dried pineapple is a sweet treat, but it is packed with sugar, as there are 16 grams of sugar in one ounce of dried pineapple.    LINK TO REFERENCE
